The Latvian Jewish Experience

Welcome to the home of Black Rooster Kapelye

Black Rooster Kapelye is a project dedicated to revitalizing the Jewish and Latvian folk music collected by Emilis Melngails at the turn of the 20th century. While Melngailis is well known as a prolific collector of Latvian folk songs, his Jewish music collection has remained virtually unknown and underappreciated for years. As one of the only such collections from the region, it offers a rare window into the life and art of Baltic Jewry of the time.
